Just want to share something I’ve observed in our community. I know a few people who are consistent gamblers, yet they also work really hard. It seems like gambling actually pushes them to hustle more, because they need money to fuel their gambling activities.

In their case, they’ve been gambling for years, but they’re still responsible with work, so I don’t see it as pure irresponsibility. Their motivation might be different, but they’re still putting in the effort, even if the end goal is just to fund their gambling.

So how do you see this kind of lifestyle? Do you judge them as wrong because their reason is gambling, or do you respect it since everyone has their own way of finding happiness?

I think it might be the opposite...

People who work really hard, and see that there's no way to make more money in their job, basically gamble for hope to get a better pay at some point.

You don't really see people who get easy money doing something else going to a casino, it's usually hard working people who don't get paid as much as they need.
